Pacific Yield (SF) closed its acquisition of Tessera Cloud Friday at 6 PM ET. Combined org is 480 engineers. Mark Devine (CTO, formerly Tessera Cloud) takes the consolidated role Monday. Two CI/CD platforms, two SIEM stacks, two identity providers, two compliance regimes. No incumbent vendor for the combined entity. Window for vendor decisions: 90 days from close. No prior touch on either entity.
Mark,
Congrats on the Tessera close Friday. I read your Friday post on integrating two engineering orgs on close day. It is the cleanest framing of that problem I have seen this quarter.
We worked with a peer SaaS through the same two-CI/CD, two-SIEM consolidation last year. The decision that mattered most turned out to be the parallel-run window, not the vendor choice. They closed it in eleven months. Worth 30 minutes before you lock the vendor list? No pitch on the call. I can share the consolidation plan we used, redacted.
Either way, good luck with the first 90 days.
